In Windows 11, I have two Spam folders. How do I get rid of one?

Thunderbird Junk email and spam

After I set up my IMAP account on a Windows laptop, it had two Spam folders. Properties showed that the path of one ended in "/Junk" and the other path in "/spam". Note that they are both labeled "Spam" under the Home (not local) Inbox.

I just want one Junk or Spam folder, not both. Or at least be able to label one Junk and the other Spam.

Having two spam folders under the Home account with the same name is confusing. How do I fix it.
